Why read it?
1 author picked Catharsis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Dierdre Winter is one of my favorite independent writers of bisexual erotic literature. Like all of her novellas and short stories, this book takes its time introducing its characters, allowing the reader to get inside their heads.

From Christian's list on The best books exploring bisexual identity and experience.
